WHO || Wynn, any and all Knights not currently on missions (if you are uncertain if your character would be at the castle for this, ask!)
WHAT || Squiring Ceremony Afterparty
WHERE || Knights Headquarters, the Ballroom
WHEN || April 1st, 2014, 6:00PM [backdated]
HOW || Prose OR Actionspam

The "afterparty" is rumored to be the real main event of the night. A black-tie affair in the lavish, opulent ballroom, it is every new Knight's chance to mingle and meet some of their new brothers in arms. Of course, a couple hours are provided following the ceremony for everyone to change, do hair and makeup, and choose from the vast array of formal attire in the closets of the balcony "dressing rooms" located at the top of spiraled staircases on either side of the ballroom. A separate dressing room exists for men and women, and they include full bathrooms (with, thankfully, very modern plumbing).

The squires are usually among the last to arrive, and the ballroom is full to the brim with a fancy array of people, of all shapes, sizes and species.

Hope you aren't shy. They're all here to meet you.

Feel free to make your own open threads for people to come congratulate your newly pledged knight.

ooc; also if your Knight wants to get all gussied up, you can make a Disguise (Cha) check for how good they were at hair/makeup/stylin', etc! This goes for... any time.

Well. [ she grabs two glasses of champagne for them and hands one off to lila. ] As long as he's keeping you happy, I've got no complaints about the guy. [ even if he is shady as fuck. don't think this means she's stopped looking into him. ]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila's expression reads of clear disbelief. ] You have no complaints? [ her eyes narrow slightly. ] Have you been possessed?

[uncurse]

What? You obviously don't - it's your relationship, why should I complain if you're not? [ beat. she relents. ] I mean - All right, I'm not thrilled with what I saw, but ... It's not my business. I won't voice any complaints; how's that?

[bittersweeter]

More normal, I think. [ she just doesn't see emma as one to hold back, it's kind of what lila appreciates most about her. ]

[uncurse]

But just to be clear, the minute that stops, the floodgates are opening. [ which was intended to encourage her to bitch about her boyfriend when needed but really just does the opposite tbh ... ]

[bittersweeter]

[ wow emma. luckily, lila takes it in stride and snorts a laugh, choking on her drink for a second, but still laughing. ] Wow. If that's not an incentive, I'm not sure I know what is.

[uncurse]

Hey, I never said it'd be easy for me to bite my tongue, just that I'd manage it. [ because he makes lila happy, and that's emma's chief concern. so at the end of the day, she's happy (no matter what reservations she has) as long as that's the case. ]

[bittersweeter]

A for effort. [ a pause as her laughter trails off. ] Thanks.

[uncurse]

Don't mention it.

[ she shrugs easily, glancing away and watching the party, sipping on champagne yeaaaaah this'll do. ]
